have never before attended home thea

and those who attend will serve a doa
ble purpose that of assisting a worthy
cause and ministering to their own
pleasure at the same time.

We have been having windy weather
for the past few days, but hope it is
about at an end.

some beef cattle owned by J. Abott of
Wapinitia, with the intention of buying

Oar schools are going m fall blast,

Born, to the wife of Mr. Asa Stogsdil,

Church at the Fairview schoolhouse
last Sunday. Rev. Ghoram was the
speaker, and Rev. Hudson of Wamic
also delivered a sermon to a latge and
appreciative audience the same day at
11 and 2 o'clock in the Kelly church.
There is to be a picnic given by the
republican club of Wapinitia on the 12th
of May. Everybody is expecting a good
time, as all are to bring their baskets,
and the Wild West band will be present
with their fine music. Just think of all
the eatables, such as pies, cakes, tarts,
and everybody is cordially invited.
A horse with a saddle and about forty
feet of rope dragging came down the
road at a lively gait and was caught at
the church and sent back up the road by
Mr. Rice to find the owner. The horse
evidently belonged to some traveler, as
it had a roll of blankets tied behind the
saddle. Have not heard whether any
one was hurt by it or not.

Collehan' Statements Questioned. '
. . Iw Camp. PoetlaKd. MaV 8. 1894. -
. Editor Chronicle 'A copy of your
paper of yesterdav. containing an' inter
view with Mr. Thos. Collehan, has just
beerT banded me, and contains so many
mistatements that I deem it my duty to
correct them. First, " Mr. Collehan i
not a staff officer of the regiment, hav
ing resigned the office of major previous
to leaving the camp.' Second, Mr.
Scheffler has not deceived the men in .'
any respect ; everything promised . by i
him and the committee has been carried
out to the full extent, as. every man who
joined the regiment (except a few who
joined for what, was in it) will testify.
Third, The collections have not been
more than enough to feed the men in
camp and give a small sum to each com
pany as they took the road-rail told less
than $700. Fourth, Company H did not
draw lots to determine the order in
which the companies should go out, but
by general consent that company was
granted the privilege of "striking the
road" first, whilst the order of the re
mainder was determined by lot.
In conclusion, I wish to emphasize the
fact that Mr. Collehan is authorized to
speak only for himself and the few men
whom he has seduced from Co. H, and
not for all the regiment.

Col. Commanding.
Another Frost.
Last night was very cold, and frost was
general over this section. There is nb
doubt it has done considerable damage,
though reports vary as to its severity.
Rev. O. D. Tavlor reports that he ob
served no particular damage to fruits on
Mill creek. '
At 5-Mile the fruit is all killed, and
the vegetation bitten down to the
ground. At 9 o'clock the fruit on trees
had blackened. The same reports come
from 8-Mile and 15-Mile,, and there is
apprehension that the wheat is injured.
In some localities the night was so
cold that the surface of the ground
froze. It was colder generally on the
creek bottoms than the ridges.
In the city water froze in the hose in
some places. The frost, also, struck in
spots, more or less severe.
- School Jntertalnment.
The Dalles public school will close
Friday, May 25th, and the pupils will
